LORRY DRIVER RECEIVES PERSONAL INJURY COMPENSATION FOR WHIPLASH INJURY IN ROAD ACCIDENT CLAIM

December 22nd, 2009 admin

Our client was driving along a road when a car pulled out from a parked position to his left, causing a collision. He sustained a whiplash injury affecting his neck and shoulder. He was unable to work for a few weeks, but soon made a full recovery and we were able to recover personal injury compensation for him of £1,600.

A brief summary of events is set out below.

Date of Accident: 22.12.2008

Time between formal instruction and successful conclusion: 6 months

How the claim proceeded: Liability was admitted by the other driver’s insurers after 3 months.

Were Court proceedings necessary?: No

Was a trial necessary?: No – once medical evidence was finalised it was possible to reach a settlement.

Outcome: The client secured £1,000 for his injuries and £600 for his financial losses (including lost earnings, travel costs and medical expenses).

Comment: As with most road traffic accidents, this could easily have been avoided if the other driver had looked before pulling out from their parked position.
